Outsourcing HR operations? PEO, ASO, HRO, etc?

by a searcher from Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management

We are at 30 people and have met our HR needs with 1 in-house HR specialist to date. We're adding a new service line that will considerably ramp up the volume our hiring, onboarding, and on-going HR operational needs. Its time to look at outsourcing our HR operations as opposed to expanding our internal team - likely keeping recruiting in-house.

Have any of you taken your org through an HR outsourcing? If so, any recommendations on PEOs, ASOs, HROs, etc. or best practices / things to avoid?

Thanks!

This has been an elusive need for me to address as a small business (10 employees). I acquired in July. I offer full benefits for FTE and the amount of time required on a bi-weekly basis. I have spent hours trying to figure out how to outsource my HR requirements, and have gone through the reel with ADP, Bambee, and others. I am now at the point of posting a part time role on Indeed. PEO's seemed to be too expensive and too many layers to churn through. My insurance provider has a great offering for me to tap into HR resources on demand (such as questions regarding personnel issues, etc)

While PEO's can certainly provide a worthwhile service, a firm like ECA Partners (www.eca-partners.com) can provide on-demand talent recruiting from entry/mid-level roles up to C-suite executives as well as project-based or temporary needs. We have worked extensively with private equity investors, their PE backed portfolio companies and within the search fund community. Please feel free to reach out to discuss in more detail. I'd love to learn more about your needs! --@----.com
